Research, teaching, and practical application are the key drivers of technical progress, constantly pushing the boundaries of technology. That is why the IT-Designers Group has maintained close ties with universities in the region for more than 30 years.
The Scientific Advisory Board advises the group on technical issues influencing the latest state of the art in computer science and related subjects and is an essential instrument for promoting the mutual transfer between research and teaching on the one hand and practical application on the other. The members of the Scientific Advisory Board of the IT-Designers Group are:
